I have YAAC running fine using a Pi with the 32 bit PI OS Buster using 73Linux to install YAAC.

I tried to install YAAC using 64 bit PI OS Buster and it failed to start.? The error message is
./YAAC Line 2: java: command not found.

I looked on the website??at the?
Raspberry Pi Detailed Installation Directions
and followed them.? When I got to?

apt-get install openjdk-8-jre unzip libjssc-java?

I get an error message:

So does that mean that the installation instructions on the YAAC website should be modified to reflect this??

Is it as simple as changing the command to?
apt-get install openjdk-11-jre unzip libjssc-java?

or should I install a later version?? If so, what version?

I recently downloaded and installed YACC on my machine. None of the JREs I had would allow the app to start without crashing. I had to download the latest from Oracle.

That's very strange. What platform and operating system were you using? And which specific packages of Java distributions?

For example, some Linux distros split the core Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from the AWS/Swing graphics support, so if you are on a headless system, Java will still work without failing because it won't try to open the graphics display. If you only installed openjdk-jre-headless, YAAC would fail because it uses the JRE graphics libraries and they wouldn't be present to allow YAAC to use the graphics display.

I googled it and found I could easily install JRE with

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install default-jdk

I checked that all was OK with

$ java --version
